Transportation Advocacy Group Study Shows Public Transit Ridership Fell Every Major Public Transit City

An Amtrak train travels on April 29, 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Between 2016 and 2017, public transit ridership fell in the country's seven largest transit markets of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, District of Columbia, San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. Researchers conclude losses stem from lower gas prices, increased teleworking and a rise in the use of Uber and Lyft, among other factors. (Footage by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
